Back on the Saddle!

I forgot what a high it is to exercise! I started up my fitness regimen again today. I had a problem with my knee which caused me to stop exercising for a few months. I didn't really gain any pounds, but I did gain a few inches back! But the good news is I am back on the saddle!

I was so proud of myself. First, I met with my trainer, and we spent the hour taking measurements and filling out forms. But when I was done with him, I wanted to walk to the car, but instead I marched my butt over to the elliptical machine. I jumped on and hit one of the program buttons. 60 minutes came up for the time. Are you kidding! Wait, I thought, I can do this. And I did! I think that was the first time I did cardio for that long at once! And let me just tell you it made my day. There is something about working out that helps me make better decisions. Not just with food, but everything.

I am really excited for Monday. I finally convinced my husband to join the gym, and he has his first session with the trainer on Monday. It is so much easier and more exciting to do this together!

That's so exciting to get support from your hubby. And congrats on doing the 60 minutes! That is TRULY an accomplishment.

So glad to see you guys taking good care of yourselves by exercising and eating right. 60 minutes on your first day back is a great start. I did 45 minutes of walking at the track on Saturday morning and felt great all day. Keep up the good work.
